Just re-reading this announcement about the preliminary minerology results, I'm thinking that the ore is almost able to be dumped into the floatation circuit given it's practically been "crushed/processed" to size already due to the weathering processes.
This IMO would make the processing circuit less complicated or possibly less of a capital burden.
Sorry I'm no mining engineer, just mulling over the potential of this deposit and what it involves to put it into production based on the snipets we poor investors receive.
This is what got me thinking about this side of the process when it's time to get the niobium out of the ground.
